I had to giggle a little when I saw this article. But being the paraniod ct'er I am, I personally think this 'button' is meant to do the complete
opposite of what it says. I think this button will actually log what you do, and flag you instead of keeping what you do online private!

just what i was thinking as I read the article. Anyone who thinks that they'd get a free pass to
hide what they're doing online,will get what's coming

It's got to be some sort of peadotrap. I mean,they already log our internet use,maybe this is a good way of highlighting those who just look at
porn,so they don't have to trawl through those that don'ts accounts.

Yup, I'm thinking this is a peadotrap after reading some crazy threads on how the feds will knock your door down if you click on the wrong link!

This information is stored in no less than 4 locations on your computer.

You need a good program or two to remove all traces.

I think you are using the term "information" in a too general kind of way. Cookies are for example only stored in one single location. Visited pages
are stored in another very specific location. Saved passwords in another location. And so on.

They think they are catering to people's natural affinity toward freedom - or here lately the illusion of - while boosting their terrible numbers in
the fiscal years to come.

If it was found beyond any doubt that they were tracking/reporting your surfing habits (no matter WHAT you were doing), their infamous browser
would certainly crash and they'd be stuck with nothing but games that suck, office (which doesn't really suck), and operating systems with so many
bugs it's common humorous lore to blame ANY machine malfunction on "windows" no matter where you are.

It's a four-tier business people (perhaps five if you count entertainment). I think they know their time is up when it comes to Internet Explorer.
All the time and money they put into Internet Explorer 7 was nothing but fiscal loss. They know it just as well as we do. Perhaps they're simply
accepting that fact and trying to use it to their advantage while it's still the "default" for people who know no better. One way to use it to
their advantage would certainly be to get subsidized by a government agency (kinda like mainstream media networks) to do just this kind of thing to
their customers while they can - which might just be longer than all of us foxians think it should be.

By the way - and I hope this isn't fore-aiding and fore-ab bedding

- If you know what you're doing (or if you're the slightest bit motivated),
you can fairly easily surf completely anonymously and with no chance (zero) of being tracked at all (by anyone including your ISP). I've been on the
net since it was a black screen and either gray, amber, or green text (and only text) depending on the monitor you had, and they've done
nothing that cannot be circumvented if you so wish.

Well, I suppose thats a possibilty but it doesnt seem it would be much of a "pedo trap". Just look at what it says in the article.

Although casual users cannot see the previous user’s search history, authorities such as the police will be able to access it if
necessary.

It will be the same as always as far as pedophiles are concerened. It sounds to me like all it does is clear the browser history, cookies, etc, for
you, so you dont have to. In other words it makes it easier to hide the porn you looked at, from your friends and family.

Now if they could just make some software that cleans up the keyboard afterward
